				<abstract><![CDATA[Background &amp; aim: The nutritional status of children is assessed by height, weight and body mass index (BMI). Several factors affecting the child&#039;s BMI. Parents act as models for children regarding the consumption of food and nutrition, and their nutrition practices and lifestyle affect a child&#039;s diet and weight indirectly. This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the association between maternal lifestyle and child&#039;s body mass index in Abadan, Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 500 children within the age range of 3-6 years were selected with their mothers from nine health centers in Abadan, Iran. Data were collected using socio-demographic and lifestyle questionnaire through interviewing with mothers as well as measuring children&#039;s height and weight. The BMI of mothers was also measured in this study. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, the Chi-square, and logistic regression tests. Results: The results showed no significant relationship between the total score of mother&#039;s lifestyle and children&#039;s BMI. However, some aspects of mothers&#039; lifestyle including physical health, weight and nutrition management, as well as disease prevention and mental health of the mothers had significant relationship with children’s BMI (p &lt;0.05). Also a significant relationship was seen between mothers&#039; lifestyle with children’s appetite and mothers&#039; socioeconomic status. The prevalence of underweight, overweight, and obese children were 15.2%, 6.8 %, and 5.8 %, respectively. Conclusion: Although there was no significant relationship between the total score of the mothers&#039; lifestyle and the children&#039;s BMI, a significant relationship was observed between some lifestyle dimensions and the children’s BMI. The results of this study confirm the leading role of the mothers&#039; lifestyle in children&#039;s growth and health.]]></abstract>
